goes against everything we know about KD. he is a quiet guy and does NOT covet the big market.


That may be the case, but it is rumored his Nike deal has escalators in it for moving to a large market team. I also think LA will have the space and assets to create a super team in 2017. If the Warriors win this year and next year, there will be incentive to form a team to beat them. LA could have room for 3 max contracts to go along with 4 top 5 selections still on rookie contracts. I am not sure how many teams will be able to offer the chance to form a superteam that LA will be able to offer.

as i said earlier.... he is not stupid. If he would make up the difference in the contract value, he certainly might more if the NIKE deal has that type of kicker.

The role the shoe industry plays in the NBA is crazy. Woj has had guests on his podcast talking about this stuff and one example is that if DeRozan leaves Toronto it may well be for the Lakers because of shoe money.
